River Cottage Experience

from £195.00

Farm, explore, cook and eat! Spend the day with us and get an all-round education with this classic cookery course at the River Cottage Cookery School.

Designed to give a taste of all areas of life at River Cottage HQ, this intensive one-day classic cookery course will teach you the importance of seasonal and ethical produce and the delights of home-grown, home-cooked food. Set against the stunning backdrop of Devon’s Axe Valley, it’s sure to be a day you won’t forget in a hurry.

Our team of experts will teach you new skills in the kitchen and beyond, from foraging the veg patch for ingredients to baking the perfect loaf of bread and making bacon. And at the end of the day, your reward will be (what else?) a three-course feast in TV’s most famous farmhouse.

"I would highly recommend it to anyone, everyone there makes you feel extremely welcome and comfortable; the food is excellent and you certainly don't go hungry. There's a lot to learn and I would both love to come back again and encourage others to give it a try!"Inazumamazzy, Trip Advisor.

If you have any allergies or dietary requirements please call us on 01297 630300 before booking this course.
